We’re proud to announce the publication of an in-depth article on Seahorse Magazine, one of the most respected international sailing publications, highlighting our engineering-driven approach to yacht design.

The feature details how AMS tackles the structural design of high-performance sailing yachts through a process entirely built around Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

Our rigorous method — refined through dozens of custom projects — goes far beyond empirical formulas to ensure maximum structural reliability, lightness, and design freedom.

The article breaks down our full engineering workflow:

preliminary structural sizing,

3D modelling and FEM development,

linear, local, and modal analyses,

realistic load-case validation,

issuing hull lamination drawings for manufacturing.

A key highlight is the case study on the Y8 by YYachts, an 80-foot cruiser-racer where structural choices were driven by the need to maximize interior space and preserve sleek, elegant design without compromising racing performance.

This publication marks an important recognition for AMS and a chance to share the value of advanced engineering — a mindset that blends technical precision with aesthetic, innovation and customization.

The article is featured in the May issue of Seahorse Magazine.
